Scooter: Scooters and other two-wheelers are perfect for commuting through the maddening traffic on Indian highways in comfort. But you have to maintain your scooter on a regular basis to keep it in good operating order. Ignoring it will cause the scooty to function poorly, ultimately grow slow, and eventually break down.
Maintaining the best possible condition for your two-wheeler can also help you save money on other running expenses and maximise its mileage. We’ve included a few simple-to-follow fundamental scooter maintenance instructions in this article.
How to maintain your scooter in 5 easy steps
Keep it clean
The electronics in your scooter may sustain harm from dust and dirt getting into its crevices and spaces. Make sure you give your two-wheeler’s surface a thorough cleaning once a week to prevent this. Make sure a plastic sheet is placed over the ignition switch and silencer whenever you use water to clean the exterior of your bike. To prevent the colour from fading, park your scooter in a shaded area and away from direct sunshine after cleaning it.
Keep an eye on the engine oil
It goes without saying that engine oil is essential to your scooter’s flawless running. Therefore, make sure you are not running low on engine oil by checking your engine oil levels on a regular basis. Recall that leaving your engine running without changing the oil can result in carbon deposits, which hinder the internal movements of the engine.
Do not skip the services
Regular maintenance on your scooter is a maintenance tip you should adhere to religiously. Ideally, you should have had it serviced by an authorised dealer. Take it exclusively to a reliable third party if that isn’t feasible. The carburettor and spark plug are kept clean by regular servicing of your two-wheeler. Get it serviced as soon as possible if the mileage on your two-wheeler exceeds 1000 km.
Check the tyres
To have a longer tyre life, check the air pressure frequently. Every ride is made more difficult by improper air pressure. Additionally, this raises the friction between the tyre and the road, which accelerates the pace of tyre depreciation, particularly in the case of pneumatic tyres. Maintaining the ideal air pressure in your tyres as advised by the manufacturer is advised.
Keep checking the battery
The battery is the vital component of your scooter since it is necessary for the engine to start. Thus it’s always a good idea to maintain the batteries on your scooter on a regular basis. Forward it for repairs or replacement as soon as you detect any rust, accumulation, or leaking. Don’t forget that your car’s battery will drain far more quickly than usual if you leave it running for extended periods of time. In order to maintain a sufficiently charged battery, make sure you ride your two-wheeler for a sufficient amount of time.
